I love that picture of him holding the bullhorn and standing with that retired fireman . I stumbled onto a piece on one of the networks yesterday that seemed to suggest that that fireman had died during this year. It showed an interview with him, then the anchor spoke of him in the PAST tense. Does anyone know about this?
The man was so sweet; he mentioned that after the President's speech that day, he showed up the next day to help with the recovery. The folks told him, no you can't help us; in effect, they told him he was too old. What he did instead was go to some agency that helps firemen and their families, I can't remember exactly what it was, but he was happy to be helping in some capacity.
